Part II-a
Regular Expression
Find outcomes for each given basic/extended regular expression (maybe multiple correct answers)
Points per question: 2.5
Example:
‘ab+a’ （extended regex）
Answer: aba , abba ; Pattern : The matched string should begin and end with ‘a’ and ‘b’ occurs at least once between leading and ending ‘a’)
Note: 7) to 10) are basic regexes; Note: 11) to 18) are extended regexes.
7) ‘a[ab]*a’
8) ‘a(bc)?’
9) ‘.[ind]*’
10) ‘[a-z]+[a-z]’
11) ‘[a-z] (+[a-z])+’
12) ‘a.[bc]+’
13) ‘a.[0-9]’
14) ‘[a-z]+[.?!]’
15) ‘[a-z]+[.?!]s*[A-Z]’
16) ‘(very )+(cool )?(good|bad) weather’
17) ‘-?[0-9]+’
18) ‘-?[0-9]*.?[0-9]*’
Part II-b
Regular Expression
Write down the extended regular expression for following questions. E.g. Social security number in the format of 999-99-9999. Answer: [0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}
Points per question: 5
19) Valid URL beginning with “http://” and ending with “.edu” (e.g.http://cs.gsu.edu, http://gsu.edu)
